Park has also achieved significant personal records this season.
On March 15 against Shinhan Bank, she recorded her 400th career blocked shot at the youngest age in history, 25 years, 0 months, and in the fewest number of games, 190.
This is the fourth time a player has reached 400 blocked shots in the women’s professional basketball league.
Previously, the record for the youngest and fewest games played was held by Woori Bank’s Lee Jong-ae (29 years, 10 months, 197 games).
Thanks to Park Ji-soo’s stellar performance, KEB has taken sole possession of the lead with a 15-2 record after two days.
Park missed most of the 2022-2023 season due to panic disorder, while K.B. finished the season in fifth place.
Meanwhile, Lee Myung-kwan (28-Woori Bank) was awarded the third-round Most Improved Player (MIP) award, which is voted on by the referees and administrative staff of the WBS.
Selected 18th overall in the 2019-2020 rookie draft, Lee made 11 of 22 three-point attempts in the third round, topping the category with a 50 percent success rate.
